"Good for what it is"
Pros: Slim, Made by Sanyo, Great Screen
Cons: Poor Camera, should've made it EVDO
Summary: CNET failed to mention (when comparing the Katana to the RAZR) that 95% of RAZR's sold have the same basic features as the Katana, including only VGA camera, no music player, etc, but the RAZR screen is lower resolution. The only advanced tech RAZR's are the ones for Verizon and the V3m that just came out.
I love the way the inside of the phone looks, and I didn't find the buttons to be slippery. The outside is ok looking too me.
You cant customize the menu color though and this is surprising considering you can with even the cheapest Sanyo phones.
The screen is beautiful.
The reception is great and it has analog too, which gives you the best coverage in the middle of nowhere.
Good speakerphone for a slim phone.
The white balance on the camera is way off, so you have to adjust it to get a pic that isn't orange.
It would have been nice to see a more advanced phone, feature wise, but it is what it is.
Great choice for somebody who isn't concerned with having all the advanced features, but who would still like to have a good looking, good performing slim phone. It's reception is better than the Blade, and it's probably going to be more reliable than the Blade or the RAZR.
